The World Sends Us Garbage… We Send Back Music

Cateura, Paraguay is a slum built on a landfill. But in the midst of trash and poverty, the people of Cateura build instruments made entirely out of recycled materials. The kids, directed by their music teacher, have formed a “recycled orchestra”.

This is a beautiful story, on so many levels. Listening to these kids talk about their love of music is a joy to hear. (And someone once told me that Spanish was the language spoken in heaven… maybe it’s true…).
